The palate of the Glories no.03 is taut on entry, opening to an expansive exhale of fresh clear saltwater. We imagine the base of this salt born in a bed of igneous rock; formed in heat and sunlight but refinedwith time. The saline expression is followed by flesh and capsaicin spice, like biting into mid-summer radishes topped with best butter and flaky Maldon. The nose is wild with Eucalyptus oil and bergamot. Fresh lemongrass accompanies the salinity throughout, closing with a briny, fleshy, oceanic edge.
